Sniff, Sniff, hurray!

A big box came to my door, surprised and curious I ran to open it on the couch.  Inside there was another big box.  A box from Gain.  I opened it and there was cheering, and I saw a bottle of Gain’s new dishwashing liquid, along with 3 T-shirts, each one was the color of the new scents.  Everything was so bright and happy 😉  I opened the bottle of my Gain bottle, it is was Gain’s original scent.  I love the clean smell it has, makes me think of fresh cut green apples. 

I have used Gain detergents for a long time, and though the original scent is great, I went to buy the Lavender as well as the Apple Mango Tango.  Let me tell you, I LOVED the scents!!!
I tried the new scents on my dishes, I wash everything by hand because
#1. we save water when washing by hand instead of the dishwasher, and
#2. it’s my “me” time, washing dishes the probably the only time I get to myself, it’s relaxing.
So, with that said, with Gain’s great smelling dishwashing liquid’s are a great addition in my kitchen!

Have you tried the new Gain dishwashing liquids? If so which one is your favorite scent?
If not, what are you waiting for?!?! 
It was my choice who to give the T-shirts & $5 GC too, so I will randomly choose 3 winners from the comments, no set date. 

 I received my “happy box”, that included my bottle of Gain dishwashing liquid, bubbles, t-shirts & gift cards from P&G provided through MyBlogSpark.
